If they are what they think they are. see this thread, about 3/4 of the way down:

But, having just looked at their site, they seem to have redeemed themselves somewhat with this

The firecat was quite an interesting little two seater coupe based on the Fiat Panda/Uno. It's been put back into production as the Alphax Firefly

I've seen it at a few kit shows and it seemed like quite a neat car, though using the bog standard 1100 "Fire" engine would be a bit dissapointing.

If it's the green one on ebay at the moment and you get it for something like the price it's at (unlikely I would have thought, the reserve price makes me think it'll be pulled if it doesn't get close) then you've got a proper bargain! Onyx cars are pretty well designed, VERY cosmetically challenged models nowadays which is where they get the bad reputation from but they all seem to go pretty well and the firecat is genuinely good looking (but small!!) car

You're mixing 2 cars here. The Firecat is based on the Uno Turbo and it's whereabouts is unknown.
The Firefly is Panda based and is now the Alphax Firefly.
